Growth Mindset: Video

-
I watched the video: Carol Dweck: The Effect of Praise on Mindsets and it involved kids solving small block puzzles. The puzzles ranged from very easy to quite challenging. It was stated that kids that wanted to practice more of the easier puzzles were praised for their intelligence because they see that they are successful at the easy puzzles and do not want to feel "dumb" when trying to solve the harder puzzles. I immediately made the connection that that is what a "fixed mindset" is because they believed that their intelligence is innate and will not progress with further effort. However, the effort put in to solving challenging puzzles is what triggers a growth mindset and can open doors for expanding new knowledge. If you see challenges as an opportunity or use mistakes as motivation, you are valuing a growth mindset.
"No matter who you are, you can always be a great deal smarter." -Carol Dweck

I am definitely one of those people that find school enjoyable, to some extent, and math and science are my favorite subjects.

Both my parents are involved in "healing" because they are physical therapists. My parents love their job and helping others is what they love most about it. Growing up, I always wanted to help others just like them, so I wanted to be in the field of medicine and healing whether that is being a doctor, therapist, etc. Female Doctor at Eldorado.

One day, Barry Sanders was looking over the offensive playbook for the big game this coming weekend. He always felt at ease when looking over his plays. He was getting in the zone when an NFL coach approached him. The coach said, "son, if you find Adrian Peterson's playbook, you will never lose another game again." Sanders lit up with determination and made it his mission to find this forbidden playbook. The coach told him that the playbook was buried underneath the Texas Longhorn field in a box that was in duffel which was in a suitcase.  Sanders approached a few of his teammates and told them of this fortunate information and asked for their help in retrieving the treasure. The guys said, "hey man that is not such a great idea, the price to pay for something that special is too great." Sanders ignored them and set out to find the playbook. He snuck into the Longhorn stadium and dug and dug and dug until he found the infamous suitcase. He opened the
